Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices
will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google.
Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer
work on certified Android devices after that time.

GMaps WV is a WebView wrapper for using Google Maps without exposing your device.
- Clears private data on close
- Blocks access to Google trackers and other third-party resources
- Restricts all network requests to HTTPS
- Allows toggling of location permission
- Navigation is not available, only turn-by-turn direction list
- WebRTC isn't blocked due to WebView limitations
- Cache isn't cleared due to resource/data considerations, however could allow tracking without other data (cookies)
- @woheller69 for discovering that page loaded resources weren't being blocked
- @woheller69 for adding proper location support
- @woheller69 for adding location sharing to other map apps
- @woheller69 for disabling WebView telemetry
- R Raj for the sharing intent support
